agreed that the whole OF the water was to
to be piped from Richardson's fiume to lot
Of the parties were to maintain In equal
proportion the expense Of keeping such
pipes in repair. The complaint then states
that on the 18th day of Oct, 1882, the Sierra
Madre Water company was Incorporated; /;
that Carter transferred some of his property
70 this corporation, and that defendants
1isregarding the covenant, terms and con-
ditions OF the deed made between Carter
and Baldwin, diverted the water or q por.
Santa % a. Anita % canon and continue @ ~ ' to divert %
and appropriate the said water. And

OF his crop and for domestic and heusehold
purposes. And that damage and irreparable
Injury has been caused to plaintiff land
and premises to the amount Of $1,000. where.
fore plaintiff prsys tn that The. the court s,n =, may

Probably as much misery comes from
habitual constipation as from any derange-
difficult to cure, for the reason that no one
likes to take the medicines usually pre-

The Voices OF Eirds.

That starlings and ravens can talk is
well-known fact.
The mocking-bird is a perfect pla-
giarist In the feathered world; he imi-
tates almost all songsters, even the
nightingale.
Parrots are able to make a noise like
that produced by a saw, the sound of a
cork drawn from O bottle, and other
noises still more peculiar,
The kingisher can reproduce most ac-
curately the cracking of hens, the
barking Of dogs, the quacking of ducks
and the bleating OF sheep.
Birds as well as mankind are apt to
be vain of their voices and seek to excel
one another. Especially is this the
case with nightingales. In hedge
inhabited by them one may often OBJ
serve that their voices increase two, ay,
threefold in strength, and sometimes
some of these birds are found with
their throats torn-they have simply
sung themselves to death.
The stork in Africa, 1t Is said, is
dumb and his clappering Is but an
imitation OF the sharpening Of scythes.
This sound is supposed 70 be specially
pleasing to the stork, because on freshly
cut meadows he always finds food in
plenty, and therefore 1t is suggestive of
a rich dinner. All of these birds show
great fondness for, and are said to be
capable of, initiating the human voice,
if one were only to take sufficient pains
in training them. And, more than this,
they can repeat entire words like the
parrot.
Not only In music have birds been
the model followed by man, but also
that peculiar and entertaining art, ven-
triloquism, has been copied from them.
Just as many of them Sing out boldly
and ill the air with their melodies,
others form their sounds without OPEN
ing their bills. The pigeon is a we'll
known instance of this; its cooing can
be distinctly heard, although it does
not open its bill, the call is formed in
ternally In the throat and chest, and is
only rendered audible by resonance.
Similar ways may be observed in many
birds and other animals. The clear,
loud call of the cuckoo, according to
Nicolardot, is only the resonance Of a
note formed In the bird. The whirring
of the snipe, which betrays the ap-
proach of the bird to the hunter, Is an
act of ventriloquism. The frog also is
said not to open his mouth in croaklng,
but To create his Sfar-reaching sounds by
the rolling of air in his intestineS.

4 GrOnp of Oucens.

The Queens IN southern Europe are
a remarkably interesting group Of
women. The Queen OF Ropmania, or
Carmen Sylvia, IS not only poetesS,
and full OF picturesque romance, but
she lately underwent examination for
u diploma that might give her a right
to do certain teaching in the pubic
schools. Everybody knows of the
skillful manner in which Chrlstiana,
the Queen of Spain, performs her IN
wonted duties. And now Margaret, of
Savoy. the Queen OF Italy. is to appear
as an author, with her stories founded
on the legends of the Middle Ages
Among the various languages spoken
tluently by this Queen Is English, in
which she reads every new book of
Importance, keeping herself posted on
English politics and gossip. In religious
matters she is neither too liberal / OF
too devote, and she is passionate pa
triot. In person she is lovely, fair and
bright, more graceful than majeS tie,
with feminine sweetness very attrac-
tive In royal parsonage. Her family
relations are perfect; she is the intimate
friend Of her young son, the Prince OF
Naples; and, often seen on the streets
and among the shops, she is i1Olized
by the people.

at his sister. But on her beautiful
face there fell a shadow more solemn
than despair; lifelong renorse, a
lifelong remuneration spoke in her an
swer;ng look.
Next day I left Limerick for the
north Of Ireland and 1t was some
months before l again stood on the
busy quay Of the famous old city. An
enigrant ship was to sail that day and
crowds were pushing and showing their
way on board. Among them caught
sight of familiar faces and was pres
emily shaking hands with Tim Delaney
and his family. There they all were,
including Mick O'Connor. A little
apart from the others stood Ely, her
hands hung listlessly by her side, and
her sad eyes gazed vacantly over the
rolling waves. There was something
nexpresslbly forlorn and desolate in
her look as l approached Der and said:
swell, Ely, L hope you will find
more happiness in the new world than
you leave behind you in the DID,"
She turned a heartbroken look on
me. but remained silent. Her brother
spoke: "But she's not goin' wild us, the
erathur? Heard ye liver the loike o.
that, yer honor? Sure, it does be
breakin' me heart to lave her, but l
can't kape the chlldher here to starve.'
"And you, too, O'Connor," said l.,
in wondering reproach, "do you, too,
abandon herP"
''She would have it So" said he,
looking down sheepishly.
"Yes," said Ely, In a clear, resolute
tone, 81 will have it so. Let thin &c
an find happier homes an falrer for
tunes beyant the say. Such are not for
me. Idon't deserve thin. Tomorrow
l join the Slsterhood of st. Bridget
and spind the balance o. my sad life in
pinance for my SIM"
So she did, and in works of charity
and mercy and IN daily prayer and
penance strove to wash out the guilt
Of that false oath by which she had
pledged her soul to save her lovers
life.

"GIye Us This Day"

Life brought her nothing men call good
None OF as brightest or its best
But sorrow broke her solitude,
And anguish sought her patient breast,
Ye., through it all, her faith was strong,
And strongest when most dark her lot;
She knew that peace was hers ere long,
Where sorrow dies, and tears are not,
So with clasped hands and bended head.
Her lips could say,
'Give US this day.
Dur daily bread"
She climbed the weary hill of life.
With feet unaideI and unshod
(Save by Gods grace), aud constant strife
Attended every step she troi.
Yet, through the gloom these shade ws
made,
A light about Ler feet was cast,
And lifting up her voice she laid
Her load, whers leads must come at last
Hence, those poor lips so scantly fed
In faith could say,
'Give us this day
Our daily bread"

Effective RebukeS.

A piece of quiet Irony, which sug-
gests more than 1t says, is one OF the
most effective methods of administer
ing reproof. But it must be delicately
put, for the least bungllng will make 1t
failure.
One day, while Gen. Robert L. Lee
was visiting the lines at Petersburg, he
askeI an officer riding with him, If i
certain work he Uee)had ordered done
was finished. The officer replied, after
little hesitation, that il was.
''Then let us ride to the spot and in
spect It," said Lee.
On arriving there, he found that lit
tie progress had been made IN the
work, and the confused officer tried to
excuse himself by saying: 81 ordered
1t to be done at once, and 1 was told
that 1t had been completed, but did
not think 1t necessary to verify the
fact by a personal inspection"
I'VE must give our personal atten-
t on to the lines" said Gen, Lee. rid
ing on. In few minutes he began
complimenting the officers horse.
"Yes. sir, :" answered the officer, she
is a splendid animal and prize him
more highly because he is my wife's
favorite riding
"a magnificent horse, but 1 should
not think him safe for Mrs.-.o
ride," said Gen. Lee. ''He's too spir-
tied for lady, and 1 would urge you
by all means to take some of the mettle
out of him before you permit your wife
to ride him again. And, by the way,
general, l would suggest to you that
the rough paths along these trenches
would be admirable ground over which
TO train him.
While Gen. Lee was President of
Washington College, a visitor asked
how a certain student was getting on.
He is quiet, orderly young man."
answered the President, ''but he seems
very careful not to lniuIe the health Of
his fathers son. He got last month
only forty on his Greek, thirty-fve on
his English, which is very low stand
ing, as one hundred is our maximum.
Now, do not want our young men to
injure their health, but wish them to
come as near it as possible"
